Selvi May Akyildiz is a proud supporter of the new Artist Membership Project: an initiative providing free entry to London’s institutional exhibitions for artists, art workers and low income individuals.

A recent University of Glasgow report, commissioned by DACS, found the median income for visual artists in the UK to be £12,500 per annum. There is a clear disconnect between the financial means of artists and institutional ticket prices. Exhibitions priced at £20+ have become untenable for many and, at this moment, there are no major institutions in London offering concessionary rates for artists. Artist Membership Project hopes to put pressure on institutions to offer free entry or concessionary rates for artists by initially implementing a DIY solution.

Artist Membership Project has stashed membership cards for nine London institutions in lock boxes secured to fencing or bike racks nearby each venue. The location of the boxes and the combination codes are accessible via a WhatsApp group with instructions for using and returning the cards.
